so some may remember that i outed SIL to family as she was saying some horrible lies about us all online. I was wrong for doing that and should have spoke to her at the time. Since then we have talked and are doing fine. she apoligised as did I. however I have come across her again on the same forum (alot more incognito this time) doing the same thing again. I was not looking for her but searched a forum on a similar topic that she is passionate about and from reading i thought it was her. I did look at all her posts and it is her and couldnt believe she was saying the same things again.

anyways i havent told dp or anyone. should i just ignore it at this stage? carry on like i havent seen them?

genuine advice needed.

Hecate is that what OP's SIL was doing then previously?

Mm that is a bit different!

OP, I would just make sure you don't give her any info about your or your family and give her a wide berth.

She sounds rather unpleasant if what Hecate says is true!

JustHecate · 11/01/2012 13:38

Yes, it is.

Or rather, it is true that that is what the OP has consistently said has been going on. Since all we have to go on is what we are told, I am taking the OP at face value.

Obviously! Grin

I can't possibly comment until we have a link to her postings.

Reading what someone posts online without using their own name or anyone else's is an invasion of privacy, despite that the internet is not private. Bit like listening in to someone on the phone.

She sounds unhinged ( the sil )
Probably best you know what she is saying so you can keep your distance

Link to the other thread?!

What Soupdragon and JustHecate said.

Wouldnt anyone be hurt/pissed off if someone [especially a family member!] was posting lies about them on the internet?

YANBU OP but I think if I were you id just step back as hard as it may be as she is either...unhinged...or as someone else said trying to 'smoke you out'

I haven't read all the replies (sorry) and so this may have already been mentioned, but:

  1. her username isn't readily recognisable
  2. she isn't using real names
  3. she is talking about "friends" rather than "family" or "inlaws" and the genders for the children are not the same as in your family.
  4. the situations she is talking about aren't actually even remotely applicable to your family

How do you know it's her? Seriously?

OP don't be scared off from here, you are welcome.

AIBU can be a scary place but MN is not an unforgiving one overall.

You can be told off on one thread and feel Shock or Blush but it doesn't usually follow anyone about to other threads and things are rarely held against anyone.

You'll be fine.

Just leave it. Let your sister in law vent out her frustration on line if she wants to. She is doing no harm to you, unless you sit and actually trawl through the internet to find it??? Very odd, almost like you WANT to be slagged off on the internet? Let it go, move on and leave her to it.
